“…The Polish EQ-5D-5L crosswalk value set is the first and only 5L set in Central and Eastern Europe and as such may constitute an option in countries of the region in which the reimbursement process is based on health technology assessment [22,23]. EQ-5D-5L crosswalk value sets are used worldwide in different clinical populations [24][25][26].…”

The crosswalk-based value set is available for use in EQ-5D-5L studies in Poland to calculate health state utilities. It should be considered an interim value set until values based on preferences elicited directly from a sample representative of the Polish general population become available. This study helps users of the crosswalk algorithm understand the properties of the EQ-5D-5L values generated using this method, in comparison to EQ-5D-3L values obtained with the Polish time trade-off value set. It is likely that similar results would be observed for values sets in other countries because the same crosswalk methodology applies across all countries.

Objectives: Our objectives were to assess the current implementation of health technology assessment (HTA) in Hungary and to identify country-specific patterns of challenges and potential improvements. Methods: We applied a structure that can be used to create HTA implementation roadmaps to evaluate various issues regarding HTA implementation. A comprehensive description of the Hungarian HTA system is presented according to relevant literature and experiences of the authors. Results: By investigating eight components of HTA implementation, we identified the most important strengths and weaknesses of the Hungarian system. More specifically, we were mainly focusing on the emergence of HTA capacity, the establishment and current role of Department of HTA, the complex process of decision making, the quality elements developed in the near past, and the activity of Hungarian experts at international collaborations. Conclusions: We concluded that there is a sophisticated methodological and educational basis for HTA in Hungary. A permanent focus on capacity building and changes to the reimbursement procedure can further improve transparency and the scientific basis of decision making in the country.

“…The Netherlands and by 2010 the number of trained and experienced professionals exceeded 200 [4]. Because of the recent HTA developments across the EU, we conducted a survey of official requirements and available local data to fulfill these requirements, among 10 EU countries, covering both WE and CEE countries.…”
